The Back Story To The Antarctic Rescue

Over the holidays, one of the biggest news stories hitting the airways, and the Internet, was the rescue of a research vessel that got stuck in the ice in Antarctica (the South Pole).  Of course, the joke here, was the fact that this ship was conducting research on climate change and global warming when it, ultimately, got stuck in 19 miles of new ice.

However, the real story, or the back story, is what is now happening to the Antarctic ice mass and how it's shooting holes in the theory that global warming is causing the unrecoverable melting of the world's ice masses.

35 years ago, the expanse of the Southern ice cap had reached a record level.  Then the ice began to recede and the global warming alarmists were elated with the fact that they could use that receding ice as proof that man-made CO2 emissions were destroying the planet's ice masses.  But, the story not being told is that, in just the last two years, all of the ice pack that had been lost in the prior 33 years had been restored back to the record levels of 35 years ago (see the related story that appeared in the Washington Post on September 23, 2013: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2013/09/23/antarctic-sea-ice-hit-35-year-record-high-saturday/).  Yet, no news agency, throughout the reporting of the rescue of this ship, even mentioned this fact.  That ship was overtaken by new ice in just a matter of hours.  That's how fast the Antarctic ice sheet is growing.  Yet, if you Google the word "Antarctica", you will still see stories reporting saying the ice is melting faster than expected.

I just don't know when the lying about Climate Change and Global Warming will ever stop.
